Let’s look at what it’s really like to be a lawyer at Linklaters. Being one of the world’s leading law firms means that whatever practice area or office you join, you can be sure that you’ll be involved in high-profile, leading work. You’ll be working with people who are (or have the potential to be) leaders in their respective fields. Some of the work will be truly international – and probably a lot more than you imagine. Many of the deals we do are multi-jurisdictional. Most are extremely complex. Nearly all are for big organisations, financial institutions and governments

The quality of the work is one of the key reasons people join us. But equally compelling is our culture that goes beyond just doing big deals. We believe that people will only reach their potential and do their very best, if they are given the support and freedom to push themselves, to draw on the expertise of others and to work on a breadth of work that will enhance their experience at every stage.

There are a number of ways in which lawyers can join us – and you can find out about these within the specific country sites. Throughout the world we are always looking for experienced lawyers who can enrich and complement our expertise. There are graduate schemes in some offices; and we also have a global LLM programme which you can find more details about here.

One of the most important things for you to consider when looking at Linklaters is that it will be challenging, it will test you, but ultimately it will define your career.
